Appeal allowed because the Magistrate erred in law and fact by failing to determine whether the goods were vehicles or parts, by misapplying authority regarding intent, by imposing an incorrect and excessive 'utmost diligence' standard instead of the correct 'reasonable diligence' standard, and by failing to properly assess the reliability of the key witness; those errors meant the convictions were not correctly founded.
